#43: 151L Aquatic Garden Red is My Favorite Color

Lori Ziemba San Francisco, United States

Comments

This tank feels like christmas with all the deep greens and bright reds. I like how you've given the angels plenty of room to move about in. The side effect of that is a wall of plants rather than a nice slope.
— Phil Edwards
Pleasant tank but the water hyacinth makes the surface look messy and the Alternanthera looks like it is struggling with this light level. Blue gouramis can be nippy with long-finned fish like angels and rainbows need considerably different water conditions.
— Karen Randall
Stemmed plants in the middle ground destroy the total impression. It could have looked better if those stemmed plants were planted together in the background.
